Your Guide to Electric Tractor Power Steering

Compact tractors are getting a major upgrade with electric power steering (EPS). Unlike traditional hydraulic systems, EPS uses an electric motor to help turn the wheels, delivering significant benefits for small agricultural machines.

EPS systems feature an electric motor and sensors that provide steering assistance only when needed. This design eliminates hydraulic pumps, reservoirs, and hoses—reducing both weight and complexity. Steering becomes effortless and more precise, especially in tight spaces or with attached implements.

EPS only draws power during steering, avoiding the constant engine load required by hydraulic systems and leading to better fuel economy. Instant, responsive steering helps reduce operator fatigue during long work hours. Fewer mechanical parts mean less upkeep and greater reliability over time. Modern EPS adapts the level of assistance based on speed and load for optimal control in any condition.

Electric power steering is transforming compact tractors with easier handling, better efficiency, and fewer headaches from maintenance. It’s an investment that pays off in productivity, comfort, and lower running costs—making every task on the farm smoother and more efficient.
